computer programming is also required.

You will work on two main research areas of the DITTO project. First,
stochastic scheduling techniques will be applied to rail scheduling.
Second, multicommodity network design formulations will be developed for
(re)designing scheduled services on the rail network, the solutions of
which will require efficient algorithms to be devised based on integer
programming techniques.

PPDP 2015 is a forum that brings together researchers from the
declarative programming communities, including those working in the
logic, constraint and functional programming paradigms, but also
embracing languages, database languages, and knowledge representation
languages. The goal is to stimulate research in the use of logical
formalisms and methods for specifying, performing, and analyzing
computations, including mechanisms for mobility, modularity,
concurrency, object-orientation, security, verification and static
analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools
in industry and education are especially solicited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to

Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in
English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings
may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper in
PDF. Papers should be submitted to the submission website for PPDP
2015. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title;
authors and their affiliations; abstract; and three to four
keywords. The keywords will be used to assist the program committee in
selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Papers should consist
of the equivalent of 12 pages under the ACM formatting
guidelines. These guidelines are available online, along with
formatting templates or style files. Submitted papers will be judged
on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. They should include a clear identification of what has been
accomplished and why it is significant. Authors who wish to provide
additional material to the reviewers beyond the 12-page limit can do
so in clearly marked appendices: reviewers are not required to read
such appendices.

MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (andits equivalent in many other languages). This series of biennialinternational conferences, with a tradition dating back to 1990, isdevoted to computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometryand related topics.

The conference will comprise invited talks, regular contributed talks,presentations of computations, and a poster session; the latter threeare subject to a competitive submission process.

Deadline for submissions of papers/extended abstracts: 12 December 2014Notification of acceptance of papers/extended abstracts: 15 February 2015

Deadline for submission of posters/computation presentatations: 15 March 2015Notification of acceptence of posters/computation presentations: 15 April 2015

Deadline for registration and fee payment: TBD

Submissions: Submissions should contain recent original research relevant to effective methods in algebraic geometry (in a broad sense), including their foundations, analysis, complexity, computational aspects, practical issues and applications. On this occasion we especially encourage submissions related to finite fields, cryptography and coding theory, as we would like to have a session specifically devoted to these topics.

There are three types of submissions, distributed over the two deadlinesabove:

- Regular papers: for these, authors can choose to submiteither an extended abstract of at least four pages (not countingbibliography) that should contain full results, an outline of the proofsand all of the main ideas; or else a full paper with complete proofs.

- Computation presentations: these can concern new software packages,but also experiments with (combinations) existing software that haveled to new computational approaches to mathematical proofs/applicationsrelevant to MEGA. Submission should be in the form of a short paperdescribing the software or computations.

- Posters: to be printed on A1, the posters will be exhibitedduring most of the conference, and during a poster session the authorswill have the opportunity to discuss their work with the conferenceparticipants.

All submissions should clearly state the contributions and achievements,with sufficient detail to understand their significance.

Submissions may contain material already submitted elsewhere, but thisfact has to be stated explicitly in the abstract. Acceptance of suchsubmissions depends on their special significance for the community.

Acceptance of a submitted contribution means acceptance for oral orposter presentation only. A special issue of a journal is planned towhich authors of accepted original papers will be invited to submit thefull version after the conference. Only original research contributionswill be considered for publication in the journal special issue.

This is the eighth in a series of conferences that aims to bring together the leading researchers in theareas of information theory, quantum information theory, and cryptography. ICITS covers all aspects ofinformation-theoretic security, from relevant mathematical tools to theoretical modeling to implementation.Papers on all technical aspects of these topics are solicited for submission. Areas of interest include,but are not restricted to:

== Two Tracks: Conference and Workshop ==As the goal of ICITS is to bring together researchers on all aspects of information-theoretic security,it consists of two tracks with different types of contributed presentations:

- Conference Track (with proceedings): Submissions to this track must be original papers that have notpreviously appeared in published form. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and willappear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.

- Workshop Track (no proceedings): To encourage presentation of work from a variety of fields (especiallythose where conference publication is unusual or makes journal publication difficult), the committee alsosolicits "workshop track" papers. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference but will notappear in the proceedings. Submissions to this track that have previously appeared (or are currentlysubmitted elsewhere) are acceptable, as long as they first appeared after January 1, 2014. Papers thatdescribe work in progress are also welcome. We note that the same standards of quality will apply toconference and workshop papers.

== Instruction for Authors ==- Conference Track: Submissions must not substantially duplicate work published elsewhere or submitted inparallel to a journal or any other conference/workshop that has proceedings. The submission must beanonymous, with no author names, affiliations, or obvious references. The length of the submission must beat most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. The text must be in a single column format, use atleast 11- point fonts, and have reasonable margins. The submission should begin with a title and a shortabstract. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for anon-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should beintelligible without them. Submissions should preferably be in PDF format. Instructions on how to submitwill be provided on the web site.

- Workshop Track: Authors may submit a paper published elsewhere or an original manuscript. As with theconference track, submissions should begin with a title and short abstract followed by an introduction thatsummarizes the contributions at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Information about previous publication, if any, should be indicated on the first page of the submission. Beyond theseguidelines no specific format is required. In particular, (a) papers previously published elsewhere may besubmitted in their published form provided bibliographic information is clearly indicated; (b) shortsummaries of works available in other venues or online (on the arXiv or IACR eprint) are acceptable;(c) original submissions may be left anonymous at the discretion of the authors. (Previously publishedsubmissions cannot be anonymous.)
